We send herewith a full scale drawing of the front wings of the cycle type for the above car, for which you preparing stub axles and wing stays. As soon as the parts are complete we would be glad if Derby would arrange to send someone to Park Ward & Co. to fit them to the chassis so that the wings can be completed and mounted. The wings are of 20 S.W.G. steel and will be attached to the stays at the outer edge and at the inside valence by bolts. The wing will be pocketed on the inside to enclose the stay so that the inner water gutter may be continuous. The actual shape of the bottom edge of the inside valence will be cut to allow of the wheels being turned through the maximum lock. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} ATTACHMENT. K.b. | ||
